- .45ACP with a high cap mag that will fit in the AR15 magwell. While pistol calibers suck, they are great fun. And the current 9mm conversions are just, well...9mm.
- Either/Both 6.8SPCII or 6.5Grendel, with a 30 rd. mag to match. You could get much more performance out of these, but then it wouldn't fit in the AR-15 platform (need more length). But currently, ammo is still close to $1/rd. If it became common, we could see the ammo drop. But, I don't like the weakening of the bolt head that 6.5G creates. The previous poster with the 6mmAR has a good thought.

It's a great overall calliber...the .223 it outdated. The 7.62x51 is a beast to lug around to try and carry enough bullets for a sustained firefight. 7.62x39 is OK at best...but the 6.8SPC takes the magazine capacity that the .223 provides and adds some "oomph" to it to reach out and still take down a target at 500 meters+.

The 6.8SPC is the rifle equivilant to the .40 S&W. The .40 bridges the gap between .45 and 9mm...while the 6.8 bridges the gap between .223 and 7.62.
